Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for burning a fuel, in which at least one fuel jet and, some distance therefrom, at least one main jet of an oxdizer are injected into a combustion zone.
  • a combustion process is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,988,285, which makes it possible to reduce the formation of nitrogen oxides of the type NO x , in which a jet of fuel, for example natural gas, and a main jet of an oxidizer, for example air or oxygen-enriched air, arranged a short distance from the fuel jet, preferably between 4 to 20 times the diameter of the main oxidizer jet, are injected into a combustion zone.
  • a jet of fuel for example natural gas
  • a main jet of an oxidizer for example air or oxygen-enriched air
  • the invention aims to alleviate these drawbacks by proposing a combustion process making it possible to obtain stable combustion, with low emission of nitrogen oxides, despite the distance between the oxidizer and fuel jets being much greater than that described in the prior art such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,988,285.
  • the subject of the invention is a combustion process for burning a fuel, in which at least one fuel jet and some distance therefrom at least one main jet of an oxidizer are simultaneously injected into a main combustion zone, characterized in that the point of injection of each main oxidizer jet with respect to the point of injection of the fuel jet closest to it is arranged a distance D away satisfying at least one of the following relations: D A > 5
  • D being defined as the minimum distance between the outer edge of the relevant oxidizer jet and the outer edge of the fuel jet closest to it, at their respective points of injection
  • a and B being respectively the cross section of the main jet of the oxidizer and the cross section of the fuel jet, the cross sections being considered at the point of injection of the jets, in such a way as to keep the fuel and main oxidizer jets separated until the said at least one main oxidizer jet and/or the fuel jet has entrained a quantity of a substantially inert surrounding fluid.
  • the quantity of surrounding fluid entrained is preferably greater than five, even more preferably than ten times its own flow rate.
  • the invention is characterized in that at least one auxiliary jet of an oxidizer is injected into an auxiliary combustion zone situated upstream of the said main combustion zone so as to stabilize the combustion in the said main combustion zone, the point of injection of the said auxiliary oxidizer jet being arranged a distance D s away from the associated fuel jet, D s satisfying the following relation: D s A s ⁇ 5
  • D s being the minimum distance between the outer edge of the relevant auxiliary oxidizer jet and the outer edge of the associated fuel jet, at their respective points of injection, and A s being the cross section of the relevant auxiliary oxidizer jet at its point of injection, so as to obtain substantially uniform combustion.
  • each of the relations implies that the total flow rate contained in the jet is at least 1.8 times the initial flow rate of the entraining jet.
  • the ratio jet flow rate/initial flow rate
  • each of the two inequalities it is possible to obtain a dilution of each of the fuel and main oxidizer jets.
  • This invention will be implemented with a distance D satisfying at least one of the above relations, preferably satisfying D/A 0.5 >10 and/or D/B 0.5 >10, so that the flow rate of at least one of the jets and preferably of each jet (initial flow rate plus substantially inert surrounding fluid) is at least 3.6 times the initial flow rate of the entraining jet.
  • the process is characterized in that the total flow rate of oxidizer injected by the main and auxiliary oxidizer jets is adjusted to a value above the stoichiometric flow rate of oxidizer required to burn all the fuel injected into the combustion zone by the at least one fuel jet.
  • the flow rate of oxidizer injected by the at least one auxiliary jet is adjusted to a value below 30%, preferably between 2% and 15% of the total flow rate of oxidizer injected into the combustion zone.
  • At least one jet of a first fuel, in particular natural gas, and at least one jet of a first fuel, in particular natural gas, and at least one jet of a second fuel, in particular fuel oil, are injected into the said combustion zone (the fuel may in all cases be solid, liquid and/or gaseous).
  • substantially uniform combustion signifies that a zone of substantially uniform combustion is obtained characterized by a combustion zone volume which is at least doubled with respect to a flame where the fuel and oxidizer jets mix rapidly without prior dilution with combustion products, and a temperature field with low gradients within the volume of the flame, such that, for an oxidizer composed of pure oxygen, the maximum mean temperature is at least 500° C. below the theoretical adiabatic temperature of the fuel/oxidizer mixture.
  • the total momentum (fuel+combustible)of the fluid jets referred to as a unit of power (and which will therefore be expressed in Newtons/Megawatts), will preferably be greater than around 3 N/MW, as to obtain satisfactory mixing of the gases (the momentum is defined here as the product of a mass flow rate (kg/s) times a velocity (m/s)).
  • Case 1 corresponds to injection velocities which are very small for the oxidizer and small for the natural gas. Practice shows that the flames produced are sensitive to buoyancy forces and may create hotspots on the roof of an oven, owing to the raising of the rear part of the flame. Cases 2 to 5 show various examples where the mixing of the gases is ensured by momentum supplied either by the oxidizer jets, or by the fuel jets, or by both.
  • substantially inert surrounding fluid signifies the fluid (in general a gas) situated in proximity to the main oxidizer jet.
  • the fluid in general a gas
  • it consists of the combustion gases which recirculate throughout the combustion zone as well as in the vicinity of the injections of combustive and combustible fluids, these combustion gases being more or less diluted by the air present in this combustion zone, in which air there generally remain only the inert species (nitrogen, argon) which have not reacted with the fuel.

  • FIG. 4 is a diagram according to a view identical to that of FIG. 2 of a second variant of a combustion installation to illustrate another development of the process according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a graph showing the emission of nitrogen oxides from an installation implementing the process according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a first embodiment of a combustion installation for implementing the process according to the invention.
  • the installation 1 comprises, in order to kindle or sustain a combustion in a main combustion zone 2 , on the one hand an injector 3 of a central fuel jet 4 (represented dashed) , such as for example a jet of natural gas, and on the other hand two identical injectors 5 and 6 of main jets of an oxidizer 7 and 8 (represented with solid lines), for example air possibly oxygen-enriched, or pure oxygen, which are arranged diametrically opposite with respect to the injector 3 of the central fuel jet 4 .
  • a central fuel jet 4 represented dashed
  • an oxidizer 7 and 8 represented with solid lines
  • the injector 3 is linked to a fuel supply 9 and the injectors 5 and 6 to an oxidizer supply 10 .
  • the latter furthermore comprises an injector 13 of an auxiliary oxidizer jet 14 (represented by chain-dotted lines) in an auxiliary combustion zone 2 A (represented by hatched lines) situated upstream of the main combustion zone 2 .
  • the auxiliary jet 14 is arranged in proximity to the injector 3 of the central fuel jet 4 and associated therewith.
  • the injector 13 is likewise fed from the oxidizer supply 10 .
  • the oxidizer supply 10 comprises, linked to the oxidizer injectors 5 , 6 and 13 , means 15 for splitting the total injected flow rate of oxidizer into a first fraction supplying the injectors 5 and 6 of the main oxidizer jets 7 and 8 and a second fraction, complementary to the first, supplying the injector 13 of the auxiliary oxidizer jet 14 .
  • These splitting means 15 may for example consist of a pipe branching off from an oxidizer main supply line of the supply 10 and in which is arranged a valve for adjusting the fraction of the total flow rate of the oxidizer supplying the auxiliary injector 13 .
  • the various injectors 3 , 5 , 6 and 13 possess for example circular exit orifices so as to form conical jets which widen out in their respective directions of projection indicated by arrows 20 , 22 , 24 and 26 in FIG. 1 .
  • exit orifices may also be envisaged, such as for example orifices in the shape of a slit, an ellipse, an annulus or other, so as to modify the shape of the jets.
  • the central fuel jet 4 and, some distance therefrom as well as diametrically opposite with respect thereto, the two main oxidizer jets 7 and 8 are injected into the main combustion zone 2 simultaneously.
  • the total flow rate of oxidizer injected by the main 7 and 8 and auxiliary 14 oxidixer jets is adjusted so that it is above the stoichiometric flow rate of oxidizer required to burn all of the fuel injected into the combustion zone 2 so as to achieve complete combustion, that is to say combustion which produces practically no unburnt fuel.
  • the flow rate of oxidizer injected by the auxiliary oxidizer jet is adjusted to a value below 30%, preferably between 2% and 15% of the total flow rate of oxidizer injected into the combustion zone.
  • the central fuel jet 4 is preferably injected with a velocity of below 75 m/s while the two main oxidizer jets 7 and 8 are injected at a velocity of preferably between 50 and 150 m/s.
  • the points of injection defined by the arrangement of the various fuel 3 and oxidizer 5 and 6 injectors are arranged in such a way that the distance D between the point of injection of each main oxidizer jet 7 , 8 satisfies, with respect to the point of injection of the fuel jet 4 , the following relation: D A > 5 ( I )
  • D represents the minimum distance between the outer edge of the relevant oxidizer jet, 7 or 8 , and the outer edge of the fuel jet 4 at their respective points of injection (see FIG. 2 ), and A represents the cross section of the main jet of the relevant oxidizer 7 or 8 at its point of injection.
  • the oxidizer jets 7 and 8 and fuel jet 4 begin to mix only onwards of a distance L from the respective points of injection, in mixing zones 30 , 31 represented shaded. Separating the jets over this distance L enables them, in particular the main oxidizer jets 7 and 8 , to entrain a sizeable quantity of the substantially inert surrounding fluid, as is represented by arrows 32 in FIG. 1 .
  • This entrained quantity of the surrounding fluid is generally greater than 5, preferably than 10 times the flow rate of the jet entraining this fluid.
  • this surrounding fluid is composed mainly of combustion products.
  • the oxidizer/fuel mixture is diluted in the mixing zones 30 and 31 and the volume occupied by the main combustion zone 2 is enlarged.
  • the effect of this is to make the spatial distribution of the temperature field in this main combustion zone 2 uniform and to decrease the mean temperature therein, so that the emission of nitrogen oxides is effectively reduced.
  • the distance D furthermore satisfies the following relation: D A c > 5 ( II )
  • a c represents the cross section of the fuel jet at its point of injection.
  • the auxiliary oxidizer jet 14 is moreover injected into the main combustion zone 2 , some distance D s from the associated fuel jet 4 .
  • the combustion in the main zone 2 is stabilized through the presence of the auxiliary combustion zone 2 A upstream, which thus ensures a region of stable ignition of the oxidizer/fuel mixture in the zone 2 .
  • D s satisfies the following relation: D s A s ⁇ 5 ( III )
  • D s represents the minimum distance between the outer edge of the relevant auxiliary oxidizer jet 14 and the outer edge of the associated fuel jet 4 , at their respective points of injection, and A s represents the cross section of the auxiliary oxidizer jet 14 at its point of injection.
  • the minimum distances D between the outer edges of the respective oxidizer and fuel jets may also be different, namely an oxidizer jet having a smaller cross section may be arranged nearer to the fuel jet than one having a larger cross section.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 and as represented in FIG. 3 it is for example possible to envisage two supplementary injectors 37 and 38 of main oxidizer jets. These injectors 37 and 38 as well as the injectors 5 and 6 are arranged symmetrically about the injector 3 of the central fuel jet 4 .
  • Such a configuration makes it possible to produce a more compact combustion installation since it is possible to choose main oxidizer injectors of reduced diameter, arranged nearer to the fuel injector whilst satisfying relation (I).
  • FIG. 4 shows a front view identical to that of FIG. 2 of another variant of an installation 1 for implementing the process according to the invention.
  • the installation of this variant comprises three injectors 50 , 51 and 52 of three jets of a first fuel, for example natural gas, which are coplanar with injectors 55 and 56 of main oxidizer jets arranged diametrically opposite with respect to the injectors 50 , 51 and 52 , and an injector 53 of a jet of a second fuel, for example fuel oil, arranged above the three injectors 50 , 51 and 52 of the jets of the first fuel and making it possible to alternate the fuel used.
  • a first fuel for example natural gas
  • injectors 55 and 56 of main oxidizer jets arranged diametrically opposite with respect to the injectors 50 , 51 and 52
  • an injector 53 of a jet of a second fuel for example fuel oil
  • the injectors 55 and 56 and consequently the main oxidizer jets projected into the combustion zone by them are located, at their respective points of injection, with a minimum distance D between the outer edges with respect to the closest fuel jet, that is to say the jet projected by the injector 50 as regards the main injector 55 and the injector 52 as regards the main injector 56 , so as to comply with relations (I) and (II).
  • auxiliary injectors 57 and 58 of auxiliary oxidizer jets are arranged above the three injectors 50 , 51 and 52 of the fuel jets, one 57 of which is associated with the injectors 50 , 51 and 53 and the other 58 of which is associated with the injectors 51 , 52 and 53 .
  • These auxiliary injectors 57 and 58 are located with a minimum distance D s between the outer edges of the fuel jets so as to comply with relation (III).
  • FIG. 5 shows by way of example a graph representing a result obtained with the process according to the invention implemented with the aid of an installation of the type represented in FIGS. 1 and 2 and in which it is possible to alter the distance D defined above of the main oxidizer jets with respect to the central fuel jet.
  • This graph shows the quantity of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) produced during combustion as a function of the parameter D/A defined above.
